The Nelly Furtado Singles Rate (WINNER REVEALED!)

Re: The Nelly Furtado Singles Rate (Voting Closes May 4)

This rate will have a lot of sentimental attachment. Her singles were like a soundtrack to life until 2009

I'm Like a Bird, Radio and Turn Off the Lights came at a time when I was a young 13 year old and was utterly fascinated by this oddball voice who had odd lyrics but wonderful uplifting pop anthems. These 3 songs were on heavy rotation on MTV

Then Explode was my teen angst anthem which I overplayed when I was 16 with just a crappy MP3 player

Then the Loose songs where from my college days and were the soundtrack to heavy partying

Don't speak to me about what happened after that. This rate will be full of 10s and 0s

I have no hopes that it'll beat one of the Loose singles (or Try), but hoping Powerless gets it's moment to shine.

I too hope that "Powerless" will at least reach the top 10. My personal favourite is probably "Explode".

Well, I won't be voting so I guess it's okay to reveal that "Explode" is also my favorite single.

Not sure if I should vote either since I don't even know half of the other songs!

One of my favourite live performances ever. Wills' dad dancing to Maneater is iconic and I always think of that when I hear the song haha

I've working on my rates and replaying the old stuff, and realized that may be we should include "Give it up to me" given that the other duets are also included? Unpopular opinion?

I included the others because they were on her Best Of album. Plus, people have already started sending me their votes so I'd say it's a bit too late anyway. Sorry!

Fair enough! I really don't mind if it isn't there, its' not in my top for sure, it was more for the sake of completeness.
 
Re: The Nelly Furtado Singles Rate (Voting Closes May 4)

The list is definitely not complete, there are some other songs missing like "Morning After Dark", "Hot-n-Fun", "Is Anybody Out There?", "Jump" etc. but I think / hope the most important ones are on it.

Aha! I didn't even know some of those existed. The most important ones are definitely in, can't wait to see the results of the rate.

Forgot how much I loved Turn Off The Light and Forca. This should be an interesting result...
 
Re: The Nelly Furtado Singles Rate (Voting Closes May 4)

This thread made me revisit her debut album for the first time in forever and I definitely underestimated it when it came out. There's so much personality and variety on it and she really manages to shift between different genres so effortlessly.
 
Re: The Nelly Furtado Singles Rate (Voting Closes May 4)

I'll be shocked if Say It Right doesn't win, I hope Turn Off The Lights and it's shear brilliance makes the top 5.

I'll be voting after work today.
 
Re: The Nelly Furtado Singles Rate (Voting Closes May 4)

Wow I have given out more 10s in this singles rate than any other rate before. I forgot how amazing Nelly is. The Folklore album is her best it's brilliant. Explode is great.
